Sunrise On Mt. Washington.

AS we sat around the glowing coal
fire n the office of the Summit House,
the principal topic OF the evening was
getting up to see the sunrise, says a
writer in the Congregationalist. Some
intended 10 stay awake all night to
make sure Of it, Others would doze in a
chair; still others would depend on
their friends 10 arouse them. But the
proprietor lifted u load from their
hearts by saying that at half past three
n bell would be rung. 'lialf past
three, did You say?" asked one incred-
ulous lady. why the sun doesn't rise
till q garter to liye!" But we're liv-
ing on a higher plane. now," SAID an
other. And there is more sunshine.
The bell ringer kept His word, and
at the appointed time there was nuch

The Battered Charm.

Dakota Bell: Colonel" SAID some
one TO a mar as he sat chatting in the
Bell Office, "why do you wear that old
battered watch charm? Throw it away
and III buy You a new one"
I'm tell you about this charm" re-
piled the colonel after being lost in
thought a moment as he ga2ed at it.
ut was twenty years ago when | got
that-my first constituents gave it TO
me. They rendered me a reception
when | came home from serving my
first term in the legislature, and pre-
Sented me with this watch and chain,
with the charm, with the stone on one
side and u Masonic emblem on the
other. | was young then, and to be
thus honored by my t~ownspeople pleas
ed me greatly. 1t was IA proud day for
me, and not the least of my pleasure
was caused by the proud and happy
look my wife gave me asI sat down
after my speech OF thanks.
.'For IA week | consulted this watch
almost as frequently az the boy with
his first time-piece. Then cne morn
ing | forgot it and left it on the dress
ing-casc. When | came home ut noon
| found that our little boy-our first, u
little curly-headed fellow. hardly two
years old-had my watch on the floor

mer he had to play with. He had it
all battered and the stone broken as
you see it now. | was angry the mo-
ment | saw tt had never been angry
with him before, but | was this time.
| snatchcd it away from him ana
slapped his hands-not enough to hurt
him much but it seemed to break his
heart. He ran to his mother in another
room, crying pitifully, and | put on the
watch and tucked the charm out OF
sight. When tried to get him TO kiss
me goodbye after dinner he ran away
and began CRYING again.
THAT very afternoon he was taken
sick. When l came in the door |
missed his laughter, and / found him
in his little bed with the doctor count
ing his pulse.
For two weeks there was but one
person more constantly at his side than
| and that was his mother-no mother
was cv-I ye; Out-watched at such a
time.
1.-The anger he had seemed to feel
when he ran away and would not kiss
me good-by passed away. He would
call me # stepped away when he was
awake. and when the hot. burning
fever left him he would smile when he
looked up at me, and stletch out his
little hands.

REST A NECESSITY.
Why the American People Should Turn
Back TO More Quiet Ways.

How few people there are who know
what rest is in it blessed sense! Sum-
day, the day of rest, comes and goes
and is but 4 part of LIES ttful fever,
quickly past. There may have been a
cessation from physical toll, but in
Thought the man or woman has often
taken no respite. If we can get away
from every day thought, even for one
day in the week. we would be better
and stronger to do the work of the
"est of the week, and yet in spite of
professions of religion, in spite of Sum
day sermons and prayers, the man too
often lives on this day of rest as on 9TH
or days. In too many parts of the
country Sunday means an extra
dinner and extra toll to the house
keeper. We have learned as a nation
TO work hard and energetically, but we
have not yet learned to rest and how
to save ourselves extra work. We
must 90 TO older nations TO learn this.
There is something wonderfully at
trlctive in some of the descriptions of
Oriental cities In which civilization
seemed to move along with perfect
quiet without any OF the clangor and
shouting heard continually in western
cities. There is nothing that so dead
ems the better nature in man as the
continual noisy, nervous strife in all
kinds of trade and business. No time
Is LETT for ANYTHING but money getting.
Like an infectious disease it seems ia
extend to ali orders of society. We
must turn back to simpler ways, to
more quiet, restful ways. All work
will be better If done by steadIer
hands.
There is nothing more injurious to
children who are growing than to be
hurried. Let them develop slowly and
steadily and they will be stronger in
nerve and mind. The most enduring
trees are those on slow growth. 1t is
better 10 keep . child back in school
rather than push him forward. Nerv-
Gus diseases of the most obstinate and
subtle type which affect the whole life
of the individual are sometimes brought
on by the injudicious forcing of the
child. 1T the child seems given to day
dreams let him alone. HIS day.
dreams may be only the means by
which he will gain a higher life which
10 man or oma ear gain until he
has become conscious .'of II ccrtain<
stiffness that pervades the universe like
Il law, ever being broken by the cries
of eager men. yet ever closing with Il
gentleness not TO be repealed. seeking
to unfold and penetrate with its own
healing the minds Of the noisy children
on earth."--N. Y. Tribune.

A GROW III.
Territory Acquired by the United States
Since the Louisiana Purchase.

Territory Acquired by the United States
Since the Louisiana Purchase.
1t IS n century since the famed Cor
d%inance of 1887" vas passed by con.
gress, and the first territory organized
the Northwest Territory, whose Off
cial name was 1.-The Territory North.
west of the OHIO River" The ordi-
nance was passed July IS, 1897.
AT that time, the United States en-
braced only $50, $50 square miles. Flor
ida belonged to Spain, and the Missis-
Sippi river was our western boundary.
Our first acquisition of territory was
the purchase of Louisiana from France
in 1903. This province embraced no,
only the present state of Louisiana, but
all the vast area from the Mississippi
on the east 20 Oregon and Washington
iw,ich then We're claimed by Great
Brittany and the vast region known a,
Upper California, belonging TO Mexico
on the west; and from the Gulf on the
south to British America on the north.
10 be more precise, 1t embraced what
are now known as Louisiana, Arkan-
sas, Missouri, Iowa, Minnesota, Dako-
ia, the larger part of Montana, the
larger part of Wyoming, part of Colo
RADIO, Nebraska and the Indian Terri
tory, and was $50, 928 square miles in
extent, or more than 100, 900 square
miles larger than the original domain
of the country. For this we paid $15,-
O00, 600 to France.
Our next acquisition was Florida, in
1920, lor which S., 600, 900 was paid.
adding 59,720 square miles to the ma
ticn. In 1916 the dispute with Great
Britain about the ownership Of Oregon
embracing what is now the state CT
Oregon and Washington territory was
settled by treaty in our favor, and 22,-
425 square miles more became ours.
La 1916 Texas became u member Of
the union by annexation. The indie
pendence Of Texas. had, however,
never been acknowledged by Mexico,
and by this annexation we also annexed
the Mexican war. BY the treaty of
Guadalupe Hidalgo, which GUIDED the
war. Mexico relinquished her claim to
Texas, and we paid her So, 900, 900
for Upper MISUNDERSTANDING Cali
fornia, Nevada. Utah, Arizona. New
Mexico and the western portion of
Colorado. In 1858. the .Gadsden
purchase, "a strip Of land south Of
the ella river, now part of Arizona
and New MexicO-was bought Of
Mexico for $4,000, 900. BY the an
neXatiOn Of Texas and these two pur-
chAses, 1920 square miles OF terri
tory were brought under the stars and
stripes.
Alaska, with its 577, 800 square miles,
were purchased of Russia in 1867. for
$1,000. 900. This is our latest terrific
rial acquisition Thus, in eighty-four
years, we have obtained by purchase,
treaty and annexation, 2,752,7 1913 square
miles of territory, costing $52, 200, 900
in cash direct, not considering the cost
of war.
1t is manifest destiny chat the extern
sion of the Union shall go IN until all
North America is under one flag. Can
ada, Mexico and Central America will
eventually be added to the Republic.
and our boundaries be limited only bv

west Ierscy PreshNterX.

The Wednesday morning session Of the
West Jersey ~Presbytery, at Vineland, was
occupied by tile reports of the different
churches and missions. Rev. Matthew
Woods, Of Merchantville, was chosen Mod
orator, and Rev. William Boyd, of the Sec
ond Presbyterian Church of Camden,
Treasurer. The consideration of the case
of Rev. Mr.. Baker, Of Camden, charged
with hercsy. was made a special order. 1t
is claimed that his views as promulgated
in his magazine, Words Of Reconciliation,
are irreconcilable with the doctrines of the
Church. The committee appointed at the
last meeting Of the Presbytery reported
that it had confidence in Mr.. Bakers sin
cerity, but that if he cannot maintain his
views privately he should withdraw quiet
ly from the ministry of the Church.
Dr.. Barnard reported thatthe committee
had conferred with Mr.. Baker, and the
members of the committee asked that the
whole matter be postponed till the January
meeting, which recommendation was final
ly adopted after a lengthy discussion. 1t
is hoped by the brethren that Nj. Baker
will see his way clear to quietly withdraw
at that time. The old Board of Trustees
for the West jersey Academy was reflect
ed. 1t was voted to hold the january
meeting in the first Presbyterian Church of
Camden. The missionary meeting in the
evening was addressed by Rev. w. II.
Belden of Brideeton.
